Can you play Far Cry 5 on Mac?
Probably yes. The single-player game should run on a Mac; online play is not expected to work, because of Easy Anti-Cheat.

Why Far Cry 5 is rated “Should work”
Valve rates Far Cry 5 “Playable” on Steam Deck, which usually means it runs, but may need some tweaks. That is the main reason it is rated “Should work” here.
Online play uses Easy Anti-Cheat, and on a Mac it does not let you in. Play offline and you are fine.
